Redthorn Anvil

Searching for partners :)

@Wintersunshine I'm interested--I haven't done a sappy roleplay in quite some time, and I share the some of the same views and interests that you've mentioned [Like, the fact that it really needs a legit plot. Absolutely. Also, I don't do m/m or f/f either.]. Plus, I prefer playing male characters. The other people I roleplay with are either not really into romance as much as other things, or the plots are so convoluted that it takes a month just to get to another story arc. Or both. Or it's just super slow. I'm in the mood for something more relaxed.
So granted, I probably have too many roleplays going right now, but again, most of them are extremely slow. I usually try to post once a day on average, sometimes I can do more, sometimes less. Like you, it depends on my schedule.

As for plot, I'm typically fairly open. If there's something you're very interested in trying, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, I think I'm fairly decent at coming up with a few ideas as well. Let me know--I have to go for a bit, but I'll be back in a few hours or so.

@Wintersunshine What is your posting speed? Several times a day, several times a week, once a week, et cetera?

@Anime_Freak Typical bird care is food, water, clipped wings, and a cage for them to live in if you don't want them pooping everywhere. Clipping the wings doesn't hurt them, they just pluck out a couple of the essential wing feathers to keep them from flying too far--less chance they'll escape. You can get bird food and a cage at the pet store. If you get a cage, typically the rule is 'the roomier, the better', and they like to play with bird toys. You can get those at the pet store as well. Birds are pretty intelligent, so they like to have a lot of stimulus. If you keep him on a leash [Usually a string tied around the foot and attatched to your wrist], you can take him with you places as long as where you're going allows animals. Most of them like company, so it's better not to keep him alone for long periods of time. I'd suggest putting the cage somewhere where there's a lot of foot traffic--the kitchen, the living room, your bedroom, or wherever you usually spend most of the day. They like a lot of freedom, so you shouldn't have to keep him in his cage when you're home, just make sure to keep an eye on him and watch out for any messes he might make. If he's chill enough, you might be able to get him to sit on your shoulder for some time, especially if you're wearing shiny earrings, they love jewelry. He might try to mouth it though, so if you decide to wear shiny earrings for him to play with, I recommend smooth studs. Gold or stainless steel are really shiny. Because he mouth it though, I should warn you that he might accidentally pinch your ear, so if your ears are sensitive, don't wear earrings. And don't wear hoops, he might latch onto them and try to tug on them. As for food and water, leaving a dish of each in his cage is good enough, he'll eat and drink whenever he needs to. Birds are smart enough to know not to overeat. You want the cage to feel as homey as possible so that he feels comfortable sleeping in it. Give him fun little nooks to hang out in when he's inside, toys to play with, et cetera. You're not being cruel to him by locking him up, you can always let him out again whenever you want, and having an enclosed space will make him feel more secure. He will eventually get bored, though, which is when you want to let him out again. When introducing him to the cage, leave it wide open. Show him his food and water are in there, and let him go in and out of it as he pleases. Since he was already owned before, he may not have any problems with cages, but you don't want him to feel trapped, you want him to know it's his home, so I recommend you to take this precaution anyway, just to see.

But yeah, birds are otherwise pretty easy to please, just let him hang out with you and give him some attention, and don't feed him any weird food, and you shouldn't have any problems.

I'm not an expert, so you should still probably talk to a vet or someone--What I'm telling you is only from a bit of experience I picked up when my friend owned birds--We hang out all the time, so I had to get familiar with the birds and how to treat them.

Exodus

The two men sparred for hours, long into the night. By the time they finally came to a rest, both men were drained, and they decided to call it a night. It was a routine they'd developed early on in their friendship. Under which, there was a kind of rivalry between them. Whether or not it was friendly rivalry, one might never know, but there it was, regardless. They were as brothers, and might as well have been born as such.

After a breather, the men parted their separate ways, the younger of the two fetching the small dragonlets to take back to his tent. "What was that you were working on, Vulon?" He asked as he dressed for bed.

As for the elder, he stayed a while longer at the lake to bathe--he disliked the feeling of being dirty after a workout with a passion--before also returning to his tent, and falling once more into the land of dreams.

@JaceBeleren Yeah unfortunately, my schedule blew up right after I was about to start making this thing. It's been moved to my 'long-term projects' list. I still want to get around to it eventually though.

Sparhawk shrugged as he followed her down the hatch.
"He's bitten me before and nothing happened, so. Now, let's see what we got." He sat himself down on the ground with purse in hand and dumped its contents on the floor in front of him. It was indeed mostly full of gold. Sparhawk grinned as he started counting it all out.
"Here you go, sister." He pushed her half of the day's earnings towards her, then dumped his own in a little box which appeared to hold all his savings.
"Now if you wanna be smart, you'll start saving all that for sometime when you really need it. There's plenty other ways to get food, so don't go wasting money on that. Money's for emergencies. That's what old man Dal says. I'll take you to see him. He pays me to do work for him sometimes. Might have something for you, too."

@Spinosaurus Heyo--as a favor to me, try to tag me so I know you're talking to me and I can get back to you faster, yea? Anyway, I'd love to help you out, mate. I still have a few commissions I gotta finish up, but I can slip you a few artworks in-between jobs and the next semester is starting soon so I likely won't be able to crank out oodles of drawings for you all the time, but if you're cool with that, hit me up with a PM on the details! I'd love to give it a shot!

@POOHEAD189 Ah, thanks--I like to keep a theme going, since I'm Redthorn 'Anvil' and all. Might as well have a Forge too, right?

@shylarah To be honest, I actually like my pencil sketches better than my digital ones--they just look crappy to me on the pc because I'm too lazy to use a scanner. Also I never color my sketches.

Laudrel || Male || 617 || Elf || First Week of Spring || Necromancer/Lich

Gᴇɴᴇʀᴀʟ Aᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴀɴᴄᴇ

Additional Images

Physique: Thin. Being undead, he doesn't necessarily need bodily intake to survive, and so sometimes slips in his eating habits, leaving him in a state of lost weight.

Height: Average height for an elf, but tall compared to a human. He stands at around 6'7".

Skin: His skin tones change throughout the seasons. In the spring, his skin is a warm color, but almost has greenish undertones. In the summer, his skin is a more normal shade of fair. In the fall, it is a little more tan, and in the winter, his skin is so pale and cold, it is almost translucent, like a recently deceased corpse.

Scars/Markings/Etc: Over the years of being soulbound to a tree, Laudrel's appearance has warped drastically--he now has clawed hands, twisted horns sprouting from his temples, and legs like twisted branches.

Eyes: Before the change, his eyes were a clear, summery green. Now, they are devoid of color, as white as fine china glass.

Hair: His hair is long, reaching to around the middle of his spine, but like the rest of his appearance, it's color changes with the seasons. In the spring, it is a light brown. In the summer, it lightens to the color of spun gold. In the fall, it becomes a vibrant, fiery red--and in winter, it is white, like the snow that crowns the forest treetops.

Weapons/Powers: Once, he knew well the language of the sword, but he has long since turned from that practice in favor of a new one--magic, and necromancy. In close quarters, however, his claws make effective weapons. His abilities and their strengths change during the solar year, like much of the rest of him. His powers with earth magic and necromancy are at their strongest and fullest during the summer months, and those powers mostly include destructive abilities--to create sparks of fire and to bend the will of the plants around him are what make up most of his magic ability during the summer. In the fall, death and the withering of plantlife are his portion, and in the winter, he can hardly do much at all, and it is during this time when he gets much studying and experimentation done. In the spring, he can call forth new life, and regrow what once lay dormant.

Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ

The seasons have an interesting effect on Laudrel's personality. In the summer, when he is at his most powerful, is also when he is the most tyrannical, uncaring, and frankly, when is ego is the most bloated. He is obsessed with his own power, and summertime only feeds into that obsession. In the fall, he is far more calm, as the earth around him begins to slow down and die off in preparation for the long winter. He finds himself more thoughtful in the fall, and becomes far less violently inclined. In the winter, he becomes tired, irate, and even depressed at times, but joy comes in the spring. Spring is the only time when he finds himself truly happy, though perhaps he doesn't realize it.
